2019 Trade Deadline Thread:

I have zero idea why AA wouldn’t have topped this

Could be he is trying to land a bigger fish for the pen.

If someone thinks Teheran would be the game 3 SP as the roster currently stands, you can safely ignore anything they have to say about the Braves.

Correct. Although we could have easily beaten the offer, I wonder how much salary has to do with it. I think he was making around $2m this season

After the DK signing, we still have room to play. But with Swanson and neck being hurt I wonder if AA shifted a little budget to possibly a bench piece as well

 

[Hudson2]

The Dbacks are apparently selling. How about Peralta?

I just saw that and thought of Peralta instantly. He would definitely be an upgrade. I just wonder what the cost would be. His power is down this year.

 

[Heyward]

Passan just said he feels like most of the deals wont happen until the 30/31st.

 

[50PoundHead]

Apparently, the Braves and Jays have talked, but Stroman is NOT the focus of the dialogue.

That can only mean that Brandon Drury is coming back to Atlanta.

Vazquez for what pieces?

Wentz and Demeritte for Peralta? Could pass on Markakis' 2020 option, and you'd still have an awfully nice Peralta/Duvall platoon option.

I already suggested Anderson + Wentz for Vazquez

I just don't want to trade Anderson for a RP, even one of Vazquez's caliber. Now Wright + Wentz I'd be all over.

I'd do Wright plus a non Waters/Pache piece for Vazquez. Not Anderson though, feel thats a waste of asset managing.

This. Anderson can get you a better return than a RP.

Think Peralta cost more than that.

I think Wentz and Demeritte is about right.

It should have been done yesterday.

Wonder if Ender holds any interest for them in a potential Giles or Daniel Hudson deal? Teoscar Hernandez and Grichuk certainly aren't very good defensively, and they don't have any CFers on the way anytime soon. He obviously wouldn't be the main piece, but could help offset salary and would clear a 40-Man spot.

 

[Hudson2]

I call Pittsburg and make an aggressive offer for Marte.

I'd hate to see the price tag, but boy, he'd look good in our lineup

 

[Heyward]

Gabe Burns said the Braves made a real effort to get Diaz from Seattle but doesnt consider it likely they will try to get him from the Mets.

 

[UofL_Braves]

The guy I would love as our catcher of the future is just mashing in LA. I am huge of the kid, having met and talked with him multiple times from high school through college at UofL.

He's probably gonna be their everyday guy next year.
